Information------------------------------

It's the height of the Cold War and the United
States government is desperate to combat the spread of
Communism. The CIA launches a highly classified, top secret
research program into the covert use of biological and
chemical agents. In simulated attacks on enemy populations,
entire cities in America are contaminated with bacteria,
exposing millions of Americans to germ warfare. But the
real focus of the research is on mastering the art of
mind control. Psychiatrists at top academic institutions
work under secret contract with the agency. Psychiatric
patients, prisoners, even unwitting members of the
public are exposed to a startling array of experiments
designed to facilitate interrogations, induce amnesia and
program in new behavior. Every psychological technique is
explored, including hypnosis, electroshock therapy and
lethal cocktails of drugs. What was the extent of these
brainwashing experiments? How did the CIA become involved
in such far-reaching and disturbing research?
